Commercial License  

You are embarking on one of the most exciting endeavors ever - your commercial pilot certificate.  You will find it challenging, fun, and exciting.  Commercial pilot training gives you the opportunity to develop precision flying skills you never imagined you had.  By enrolling in Airborne Systems' Commercial Pilot program, you will be on your way to a career that will keep you flying. 

If you have already enrolled in one of our FAA approved Part 141 programs, you are on your way to getting your commercial certificate in as low as 190 hours.  We offer both the single and multi-engine commercial ratings.   Flying opportunities such as flight instruction, banner towing, charter and freight operations will be opened to you.  

Prerequisite: The private certificate is required and an instrument rating is recommended before you start the Commercial Pilot program.  Without the instrument rating you will be limited to a 50 mile radius for all your commercial endeavors. Additional requirements include:  an FAA 3rd Class Medical and the ability to read, understand and speak English.

Time Frame: If you were to start at zero time and complete Airborne Systems' Part 141 Commercial Pilot program, it will take three to four months for a full-time student.  Previous training outside of Part 141 requires a total of 250 flight hours to qualify for the Commercial checkride.

 Curriculum:   Airborne Systems' Commercial Pilot program is Part 141 certified.  This certification reduces the hours and cost required for the commercial training.  This is because Airborne Systems utilizes the Cessna Multimedia Training System--the best in the industry!  This CD-ROM based system features individual Labs (flight theory lessons) taught by John and Martha King, Rod Machado and other aviation training pioneers.  The Labs are integrated with Flight Lessons that preview your flights, taking you into the air on your computer screen offering you the pilot's eye view of the maneuvers you'll learn with your instructor.  You'll be able to check your progress--Flight and Labs--throughout your training.  The multimedia course also comes equipped with questions you will need to know to pass your written exam. 

Cost: Airborne Systems' Commercial Pilot Training program  will take you from private to commercial in as little as $39,650.  Once you have accumulated the required time on your own,  it will take about ten hours in the retractable gear/complex aircraft before you will be ready to take the checkride.
